Fax Confirmation

Posted by acxential on Mon, 05/17/2010

I am currently using Asterisk 1.6.2.7 with Thirdlane MT and Fax-for-Asterisk with Broadband.com trunks. So far, I am very pleased with the fax functionality (despite the usual headaches getting it all working the first time!).

When sending a fax from the web gui, the fax sends great (in fact, I test by sending a fax from one asterisk box with broadband.com trunks to another asterisk box with broadvox trunks!).

HOWEVER, I never receive an email notification on success or failure. The asterisk log shows:

WARNING[30406]: app_system.c:134 system_exec_helper: Unable to execute 'REMOTENUMBER=xxxxxxxxxx CONFSUCCESS=1 FAXFILE=/tmp/Demo-101-2010-04-17-07-13-13.tiff FAXERROR=\"NO_ERROR\" STATUS=SUCCESS EMAILADDR= REMOTESTATIONID=\"\" FAXPAGES=1 FAXBITRATE=9600 /usr/local/sbin/faxreport.sh'

I am guessing you are attempting to run the script "/usr/local/sbin/faxreport.sh" but I cannot find this script anywhere? If this is what it is looking for, can you send the script? If not, can you help me understand where the failure is occurring?

in my case i found the script here :

/usr/src/webmin-1.510/asterisk/configs/local-sbin/faxreport.sh

then i moved to the other path...

Sorry, I had scanned that document but only noticed the reference to fax2pdf.sh which was already installed. And searches did not come up with any reference to faxreport.sh - which is indirectly referenced as "all files". :)

Works great now!
